That moment while writing when you’re on fire and all the puzzle pieces are clicking, and it all comes together super easily, and you stand back and take a look at the whole scene and think “Wow…This really sucks.”

To rise in rank on Audible, a narrator has to defeat higher-ranked narrators in combat, which is why Reaper couldn’t beat Dune. They have twelve narrators, and it’s well known that
@TravisBaldree
can only defeat eleven at once.

I’m about to delete this sentence from my new book, but I thought it was kinda cool, so I’ll share it without context: “The ravaged asteroid had gone dark, drifting through space. There was a new, sharp crater in its side, surrounded by broken magical seals still venting light.”

I was so proud of myself in Zelda for making a cart that could take me down a dirt road, then I looked on YouTube and saw people making Gundams and perpetual motion machines and multi-stage rockets leaving orbit. This is Minecraft all over again.

My friend just asked me which episode of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure took place in the Italian restaurant, and I remembered the exact episode number.
I’m more proud of that than of releasing a book today. THE KNIGHT IS OUT NOW!

I never released the Wintersteel deleted scene where I explained Yan Shoumei’s backstory with Anagi, right?
I’m thinking about putting it into the short story collection and using it to lead into a full Shoumei story.

Wheel of Time is my favorite fantasy series, and League of Legends is by far my most-played game of all time. So I’m pretty happy with TV right now.

I loved the D&D movie. Best adaptation of what a story looks like at the table. The players pull things the DM wasn’t expecting, plans go off the rails, the Druid is a better tank than the Barb and the Paladin is better than everyone at everything. 10/10 accuracy.

I keep seeing comments from people who think they’re better than they are at League of Legends.
Let me balance the scales by saying I know exactly how bad I am.
When people watch me play, they take sunglasses off with trembling hands. “My God…it’s horrible.”

Travis Baldree is writing a book of his own, available now for pre-order. Little did he know that when you write a fantasy novel, you have to get beaten into the Fantasy Author Gang. 👊
My cozy fantasy novel about an orc barbarian-ess who retires to open a coffee shop now has an unexpected preorder, because boy, did this day not go the way I expected. ♥️ Thank you to everyone for the really kind words! February 22! (& Audible & Paperback)

To all the people recommending I go outside and exercise for my entertainment: I know you’re looking out for me, and I feel the love, but you’re barking up the wrong tree.
I went on a hike last week and halfway through I looked up YouTube videos on how Navy SEALs resist torture.

If there are any genies reading this, I want to be absolutely clear that I will use my second wish to free you as long as I can use my first wish to make the Mario movie not suck.
You can keep the third wish, I don’t need it.

“We all know the world is full of chance and anarchy, so yes it’s true to life for characters to die randomly. But news flash: the genre’s called Fantasy. It’s meant to be unrealistic, you myopic manatee.”

Major salute to both of you for going through the whole series, and thanks for covering it! I don’t think I’ve ever been compared to Babe Ruth before.
I finished Waybound, so here's a big video on Cradle by

In trying to write more efficiently, I’m writing all the scenes I would normally skip, cut, or summarize. I really hope this book doesn’t suck. If I have to go back and rewrite half the story, I will weep tears of blood.

Every time someone brings up this accurate fact, I have to present my defense: JJK chapter 1 = 2018, Soulsmith = 2016.
But when JJK chapter 1 did come out, I’ll tell you my first thought was “Holy crap, that’s Eithan wearing Kakashi’s headband.”

The problem with having several days off is that I run out of great anime and have to settle for the mediocre stuff.
Isekai Cheat Magician, she got hit directly by dragon’s breath. Why does she have a stab wound? Did the dragon breath have a dagger?
